Robert Baum said Mrs Chapman, 28, also refused to let him send along a request from an adult movie company to appear in a film.

"They sent an email with a letter. She didn't even want me to forward it," Mr Baum said. "She didn't even want to consider the offer."

He did pass along notification to Mrs Chapman that her citizenship had been revoked and that she would not be permitted to enter the country. He said the citizenship decision can be appealed but it would be three years before she could apply again to re-enter England, where she has spent much of the last nine years.

"She's particularly upset" at the rejection by the United Kingdom, Mr Baum said. "It was disappointing to learn she can't go back."

Mr Baum said he has communicated regularly with Mrs Chapman by email as he tries to return her belongings following her deportation nearly two weeks ago. She was required to leave the country along with nine other Russian spies immediately after they pleaded guilty to working as unregistered agents for Russia while living seemingly quiet lives in America.

Mr Baum said he visited her nearly every day while she sat alone in a prison cell for 10 days after her June 27 arrest.

He said reports that she was trying to sell her story to make money were false.

"She has not been shopping her story. She's not granted any interviews. She has not hired an agent," Mr Baum said. He said she read one report that she was selling her story and told him it was an "absolute lie."

Mrs Chapman's plea agreement with federal prosecutors includes a clause forbidding her from making money from the sale of her story in book or movie form. However, there was no prohibition from her making money based on her celebrity status, Mr Baum said.

He indicated it was likely she would tell her story, even if she's not allowed to accept money for it.
